Gionee brings 5,020mAh battery toting Marathon M5 Plus to India

The Gionee Marathon M5 Plus - which features Mediatek MT6753 SoC and a 6-inch display, and packs in a 5,020mAh battery - has been launched in India, five months after it was launched in the company's home country of China.

In India, the device will be available across retail outlets, and online exclusively through e-tailer Flipkart, which has it listed for INR 26,999 (or around $400 at current exchange rates). Color options include Champagne Gold and Polar Gold.

"We are thrilled to bring the M5 Plus to India. The device is a perfect reflection of a beautifully crafted powerhouse," said the company's India CEO and MD Arvind Vohra.

"Our motto with the Marathon series remains the same with each device to make people’s life stress-free with no battery issues bothering them. We at Gionee believe that smart phones are needed to take down your burdens not add on it, hence, we design our devices as per the utmost needs of our consumers."
